Yesterday we looked at how to expose your kids to gardening early. Today as promised some pint-sized tools that will help grow your child’s love of gardening.
Why invest in kid-sized gardening tools?
- Kids love having their own gear for tasks and hobbies.
- Personal garden gear is a super way to entice your child into participating in the garden.
- Kid-sized tools are smaller and easier for little ones to handle than adult sized tools.
- Kid tools and gear tend to be brightly colored which translates to “easy to find” when your tot half buries his shovel or puts his gloves down to go chase a butterfly.
One of the best places ever to score adorable kids garden gear is at the New York Botanical Garden’s Shop. They’ve got it all from cool Kids’ Watering Cans to a complete Kids’ Garden Gear Set to brightly colored Kids’ Garden Hand Tools and so much more.
Rain boots or garden shoes – Hatley has many cute styles of rainy day / muddy garden boots just for kids such as Dinosaur Rubber Boots, Stars Kids Rain Boots, Strawberry Picnic Kids Rain Boots and more.
Learn how kids can make a garden journal.
Let your kids get started with gardening indoors now with the very cool Green Toys Indoor Gardening Kit by Green Toys – made with recycled milk containers. Good for younger kids.
Grab a good garden book or two that are especially for little ones such as Green Thumbs: A Kid’s Activity Guide to Indoor and Outdoor Gardening, Kids’ Container Gardening: Year-Round Projects for Inside and Out, or Roots, Shoots, Buckets & Boots: Gardening Together with Children.
Kids’ gardening gifts are perfect for the upcoming holidays or anytime of year to inspire participation in the garden. Are you planning on any holiday garden gifts for your kids?
